The disastrous floods in the Marina Alta have made headline news, and catapaulted JCC President, Chris Betterton-Jones to instant fame (albeit anonymously) as front page "girl" on the October 19th edition of "Las Provincias".
Says Chris:
"I was checking out the Club House to see how bad the flooding was when two reporters turned up. I knew one of them, Guiomar from "Xàbia al Día" magazine, but didn't know who the other one was. Guiomar speaks very good English and translated my comments for the other reporter, who must have been from "Las Provincias". This picture was taken when I took them around to the garages at the side of the Club building (Edificio Arenal) where much of the water came in. I was demonstrating how deep it was.
The reporter has employed a bit of journalistic license in her caption since the water in Avenida Tamarits was only calf-deep. It was a good deal deeper next to the garages....Well, the press needs to sensationalise things a bit !
However, I am rather disappointed that I haven't yet had an invitation to pose for the front page of Vogue, or indeed the centrefold of Playboy"
